HBAR Gains Momentum as Vanguard ETF Boosts Institutional Exposure

Hedera Advances on Elevated Volume Amid Institutional Developments

Hedera (HBAR) rose, establishing support above $0.1427 during a measured rally driven by elevated trading volume and growing institutional activity. The move aligns with broader crypto market strength, with HBAR showing only 0.25% divergence from the CD5 index.

A series of higher lows formed during the session, highlighted by a volume spike at 14:00 UTC when 165.32 million tokens traded—138% above the 24-hour average. This surge coincided with a volatile rejection near $0.1467 resistance, while support held firmly at $0.1427, confirming the ascending trendline from $0.1411.

Institutional momentum is supported by Canary Capital’s HBAR ETF now tradable through Vanguard, while Georgia’s plan to migrate its land registry to Hedera adds fundamental backing. HBAR remains sensitive to broader market movements, particularly bitcoin and ether.
